Which? responds to the Treasury Select Committee report travel insurance and its regulation

25 February 2007

As the Treasury Select Committee publishes its report into travel insurance regulation, Mike Naylor, principal researcher, Which?, says:

“This is a damning report reiterating the urgent need for consistent regulation of travel insurance.

“Which? research* shows that travel insurance is being mis-sold and consumers aren’t being given the appropriate information.

"There is no reason why travel agents should be excluded from regulation. People should have the same protection and peace of mind on holiday regardless of where they buy their insurance."

How to get the right cover – Which?’s top five tips

  • Declare any information that could lead to a claim
  • Check cover limits and exclusions
  • Watch out for excesses
  • Read the small print
  • Tell the insurer about any pre-existing medical conditions affecting you or anyone else on whom your holiday plans depend
